Welcome to another episode of The Time is Now.

Tonight we are going to be talking about surrendering to God.

PATRIARCHY
​
The first thing we must understand is; GOD is a FATHER
​
This will be the most controversial topic that you will ever discuss in Christianity. God is a father and operates through a patriarchal (masculine) system, not a matriarchal (feminine) system. This will ruffle many feathers, but who cares. This will be proven without a doubt by the end of this article. At that point, you can choose whether you will follow God's ways or your own ways; God's ways or the world's ways. There is one thing that I can guarantee you is this: after reading this, when you face Jesus naked and alone one day, you will not be able to say, I didn't know or I was not told.
The very first scripture that we must start with is this: Romans 12: 1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2. And be not conformed to this world, but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

As we can see from these scriptures, the very first thing we must do is not to let our mind be controlled by this world. This will be the hardest aspect of Christianity. Why? Because from the time we were born, everything we have learned comes from television, movies, newspapers, school, radio etc.. This means that your mind is being informed from the time of your birth by the world and not by God. No wonder it has become so hard to get Christians to operate in and follow God's ways. This is because the wicked one, who is the prince of this world has been controlling our mind from birth.
​
Let's explain how this happens, you go to school, watch television, watch the news, read books etc.. seven days a week, then your parents take you or you go to a church on Sunday for one hour, one day a week. Now from what I just said, when you go to church or just go through everyday life, do you believe that you are following God or the voices of this world? If you have half of a brain you will have realized from what was said above that it is impossible for you to be following God's ways. Let's go one step further, at 20 years old you would have only 1,040 hours of hearing what God wants and 116,480 hours of listening to the world. How did I arrive at these figures: Church ~ 1 hour/week x 52 weeks/year = 52 hours, x 20 years, = 1,040 hours in twenty years of your life of hearing about God. Your life ~ 16 hours/day x 7 days/week = 112 hours/week, x 52 weeks/year = 5,824 hours/year, x 20 years = 116,480 hours in twenty years of your life listening to the world!!
​
Now once again, when we walk into the church or go out into the world, are we walking in God's ways or the ways of the world? It is totally impossible to be walking in the ways of God. What you are doing is: you are incorporating the world's ways into God's ways and corrupting the ways of God. This is the reason that our churches are so divided. This is the reason that Christians are not united. This is why Christians have different thoughts on God's ways and why the gospel has been totally perverted. This also is the reason why it has become so hard to get Christians to accept the truth of God's word. Now let's prove through scriptures, that God knew this would happen. Then we will show how to correct or try to correct this problem for those who have ears to hear.

God knew: 2 Timothy 3: 1-7 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous (greedy), boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3.Without natural affection, trucebreakers (breakers of contracts), false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good 4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5. Having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away. 6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts. 7. Ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

All these things are of the world, but today they are also inside the churches. Someone please tell me how these things got into the churches. I will tell you how, we have brought all these things in from the world. The world says, you must first love yourself before you can love anyone else; what resulted from this, we became lovers of ourselves.
